I've done another upside down drawing like here to focus on when "R-mode" activates.

(hover to flip)

It doesn't look exactly right everywhere as anatomy is a bit off I think, and I left too many marks, but I was expecting worse!

In the "Crossing Over from Left to Right" chapter, the "Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" book I'm following (see drawing) gives you an exercise: you have to draw "Portrait of Igor Stravinsky" by Pablo Picasso, upside down.

So this image:

But instead of drawing it by looking at it straight, it's flipped over, like this:

As mentioned in the previous post I've just started learning to draw with the "Drawing On The Right Side of the Brain" book by Betty Edwards (https://www.drawright.com/). I haven't done any "lesson" yet but the book asks to do a few pre-instruction drawings, so here they are!

As mentioned in drawing I've decided to embark this journey of learning to draw, inspired by a random workshop I walked into accidentally at Lucca Comics, and seeing all the beauty of that world with fresh eyes (I went to the festival for the "Games" part, but was really fascinated by the illustration part).

I don't have the confidence necessary to show up at a drawing course in Tuscany (just feel the pressure of being in the land of Da Vinci and show up to a course there 😬), so I decided to look online for the next best thing (the blessing of living in this day and age is that you can find everything on the internet).

A friend showed me anyhow today for Rust. Got to clean up a lot of unwraps and expect! (I’m writing a CLI app, i don’t need custom handling for every error)
